The availability of open, high-quality, consistent, and comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data is essential to understanding the global trend in GHG emissions, and for countries to see their
Solutions to contemporary environmental challenges will require dialogue and learning among stakeholders with different perspectives. Moreover, enhancing the potential for social learning can be seen as a strategy for meeting the inherent complexity and uncertainty on global change.
<p>This report gives a brief overview on how current and proposed agricultural practices impact on climate changes, and how proposed measures for 'mitigation and adaptation' impact on agriculture. It focuses on forms of intensive, large-scale (or industrialized) agriculture. It looks at the main proposals in the negotiations for a post -2012 climate agreement.
The WCI believes that the information is available now to permit CCS to be included under the CDM. The large body of experience, in both Annex I and non-Annex I countries, gained during the operation of CCS activities and related technologies should provide Parties with the confidence that CCS can be practiced safely and with environmental integrity.
The knowledge of the surface temperature is important to a range of issues and themese in earth sciences central to urban climatology, global environmental change and human-environment interactions.
The study focuses on the context of the scope of different strategies for carbon emission reduction from existing and new R&D technologies in the residential and commercial building sector of the developing countries. In order to do that it highlights the range of technologies and goods which could be applied in the residential and commercial building sector for reduction of carbon emissions.
Protocols are the foundation of an offset program. By defining eligibility requirements and the quantification of the quantity of offsets generated, protocols will drive the development of emission reduction and sequestration projects. By assuring quality standards for offsets, protocols are also central to the credibility of offset markets. This report examines U.S.
The interaction of climate and development threatens to create a paradox: economic development could accelerate climate change, which in turn could block further development, locking the world into existing patterns of inequality as the natural environment deteriorates. The solution to this paradox is far from obvious.
This report documents recent policy innovations for the conservation and management of ecosystem services in China. Policymakers have become increasingly interested in developing new approaches to address China
Indigenous peoples worldwide lead sustainable livelihoods that contribute to the sequestration of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and cause the least amount of damage to the environment. Adivasi Women
International cooperation is a cornerstone of efforts to combat climate change. The achievement of global climate change mitigation goals will require significant investment in emissions reduction in developing countries. International cooperation will be essential in providing the needed finance, capacity building, and technology transfer and development.
